Under performing Core 2 duo.

I've just upgraded my computer. Just to check if it was performing ok, I ran a benchmark using 3d Mark 03. 3d mark 03 has a feature that allows you to compare your benchmark withother users with similar systems.

The main thing thats bothering me is that my 'CPU score' is considerably lower than all the other similar systems listed on there. Also on the hardware details section, it lists my 'CPU name' as 'Intel Core 2 2128 MHz' whereas everyone else seems to get 'Intel Core 2 2133 MHz' with the same cpu.

Is something actually wrong with the way it's performing?
Or are you concerned with the fact that your hardware is showing 5MHz slower than the "benchmark"?
If you're only worried about the statistics,

at first glance, you chould try to get a better heatsink. I believe the speed of your CPU is not taken from the model but more from the actual speed that the OS detected (i could be wrong here). Since that you mentionned that you upgraded your CPU, be sure not too mutch compound has been used or change for a better heatsink.
